Bob,
I am quite upset about the same subject. I sent a couple of messages to you directly, also. When I bought the products from ISS it was with the promise that Solaris and Linux (current versions) would be supported. Now not only are they setting EOL on the Solaris Network Sensors but I am still waiting for a version of the server sensor to support the current RedHat Linux. It seems ISS is extremely slow about keeping up with OS mutations. This seems like a HUGE problem to me for a company we are depending on to protect our networks.
I am running my Network Sensors on the Nokia boxes and I am quite happy with them, but I still need my Server Sensors for all of my servers. It disgruntles me to be forced to use an obsolete OS because ISS takes over a year to update their software.
Somehow I think we should be getting a chunk of money back for non-performance. What does everyone else think?

Subject: [ISSForum] EOSL (End of Sale Life) of network sensor running on
Solaris !
Hi all,
I have been informed by ISS that they are going to EOSL of network sensor on
Solaris from 1st quarter of 2004! After that, the only supported platforms
will be Windows, Linux(red hat only) and of course their appliance Proventia
(at $10,000 for entry level Proventia Series A) Currently, all our network
sensors run on Solaris which are found to be stable and doing their job
fine. Migration from the nearly brand new Solaris platforms to any of the
new platforms (W2K, Linux, Proventia) will undoubtedly incur huge investment
that cannot be justified.
It will be interesting to hear what you (ISS users) think about this.
Regards.
Bob
